Pere Lachaise Cemetery shootout

The Pere Lachaise Cemetery shootout occurred in late 1940 when French Resistance fighter Sean Devlin and British SOE operative Skylar St. Claire stole a treasure box from the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. The two of them were sent to Paris by SOE agent Bishop, who was based at a church in Le Havre, and they were ordered to retrieve the box without opening it. Devlin infiltrated the cemetery through a tunnel, and St. Claire headed off to secure a large truck for a getaway. Devlin shot his way through scores of Wehrmacht soldiers as he made his way towards the mausoleum, even killing German general Wulf Tischbein. He then fought his way into the crypt, where he reached the treasure. St. Claire then arrived with the truck, and Devlin drove it to Montmartre, where St. Claire arranged for other resistance fighters to ambush the Germans. This was the first "fightback zone" created by the British in Paris, and Devlin helped the Resistance fighters with fighting off the Germans. The Germans were forced to retreat, and Devlin and St. Claire would later deliver the box to the church in Le Havre.
